Washington, died at his residence in Baltimore, q
few days ago, aged about fifty eight years. For
eighteen years Mr.. Barnitz was a clerk in U. s..
Sub Treasury in Baltimore, which position he re-

Mrs. Samuel Chew, of Philadelphia, accom-
panied by her son, Mr. David Chew, was in Tow
sontown on Wednesday, attending to business in
the Orphans Court, relative to the settlement of
| her late husbands estate. She also visited her
beautiful farm, near this town, which is managed

The man who attracted the most attention
in the big Masonic parade in Baltimore few days
| ago was from Towsontown. His general getup
was good but it his silk hat that did the bus
mess. TWAS the same one that was worn by King
| Solomon at the building of the Temple, and was
| once used on that occasion to carry mortar in.

Mr.. John T. Riley, of Ashland called to
see us this week. He has been somewhat indis-
posed for the first time in about thirty three years,
but we are glad to know that he is getting all
right again. Mr.. Riley has been connected with
the Ashland Company for many years and is a
highly respected citizen and irst-class business
man.
On Wednesday evening last young man
named Frank Haviland, of Forest Hill, jumped
from BALTIC. & Potomac train, at Boundary ave-
nue. bridge in order to catch the $50 train on the
Maryland Central road. He was thrown to the
ground with much force and received an ugly
wound on the head. He was taken to the City
Hospital
Some of the people of Texas are not pleased
at the statement made by Mr.. William Parks
before the County Commissioners last week, about
the constant violations of the Sunday law in that
place. They say that for years no one in Texas
has been indicted for selling liquor on Sunday,
and that this fact alone disproves the statement
of Mr. Parks.
The city newspapers are now filled with ad-
vertisements of summer boarding houses, scores of
which are located along the lines of and near to
the several railroads which traverse this county.
City people should experience no difficulty in find
ing desirable locations, and they must not lose
sight of the monumental fact that Baltimore coun-
ty leads in everything that is good.
Mr.. John 7. Elsroad resides on Roland
avenue, a short distance above Hampden. Dur
ing the temporary absence of his family few
days ago, some malicious person entered his flow
er garden and pulled up and destroyed nearly all
his choicest plants, carrying off goodly number
an act deserves severe punishment
The magic lantern entertainment in the
Court House on Friday evening of last week at
tracted only moderately large audience and the
show net as good as it might have been. The
light thrown upon the canvas was not half strong
enough, and the operator was a failure. The
professors" cough was quite success, however,
and furnished plenty of amusement for the chill |
dren
Mr.. John F. Anderson, son of Mr.. James
M. Anderson, formerly superintendent of the
Hampton estate, will be married on Wednesday
daughter of the late Daniel Lee, of Towsontown. |
The ceremony will be performed at the residence |
of the bride. Mr.. Anderson is at present employ
ed with the firm of Messrs. Tucker, Smith & Co., |
Baltimore
The Dover road from Ledger Hill to Cron- |
hardt's, distance of about one mile, and which |
is the dividing line between the Sd and Sth dis |
tricts, is in wretchedly bad condition and in |
some places almost impossible. The road belongs
to the Sth district and the excuse is that there is
no money to put it in repair. The County Com
missioners, although not to blame in the matter,
should see that the relief is afforded.
Within the last ten days two grip-sacks
containing clothing have been found on the banks
of two of the dams about Woodbury., and it was
supposed that in each case somebody had suici-
ded. The county police dragged the water, ex
pecting to find the bodies of the unfortunates, but
they didn't turn up, and now it is beginning to
dawn upon the minds of the officers that some
body has been putting up jobs on them.
DR.. G. W. Chancellor, of the State Board of
Health, who lately returned from Europe, has
written letter to Col. O. P Macgill in which he
speaks in the highest terms of his Stronta water.
The DIR. says that during his extended tour he
tried number of the most noted waters of Europe
for rheumatism and did not find any of them that
gave him the relief the Stronta afforded him.
This is certainly most valuable testimonial.
At the late meeting of the Medical Society
of Hartford, DR.. J. F. FL. Gorsuch, o we'll known
physician of the 18th district of this county, made
a report Of the case in which he was acquitted
some months ago of charge of malpractice in
improperly setting broken arm. The members
of the Society thoroughly considered and ap-
proved DR.. Gorsuch's treatment of the case, which
had also been vindicated at the trial in Towson-
town.
In all sincerity we want to know if some
plan cannot be devised to rid Towsontown of
about seventeen hundred of the worthless dogs
with which it is infested. They are terrible and
a growing nuisance, particularly at night, and as
they no earthly good in the world they should
be exterminated. When the town is incorpor-
ated--which we hope it will be by the next Leg
islature-we want to see heavy tax put on dogs,
this will be the surest plan to rid the place of
| them.
Mr.. George W. Heuter, who has been ticket
| Towsontown station of the Maryland Central road
for several years, has resigned and the place will
hereafter be filled by Mr.. Anderson, of Belair.
Mr.. Heuter was a very careful, attentive and eff
| fcient young man, but as the salary he received
was very little more than enough to pay his
board, he has accepted position as brakeman
| on one of the passenger trains on the same road
| the pay being better.
1t is rumored that the York Road Railway
| Company contemplates some more extensive i'm
! provements at no distant day. If they find that
| the double track to Waverly pays, they may in
time extend it all the way through to Towsontown
running here ever thirty minutes. This
would shorten the time very much and with the
fare put down to say twenty cents for the round
trip, the already heavy business of the road would
be largely increased. Nothing attracts the people
like cheap fares and ample accommodations. We
hope to see the company make these improvements
at no distant day.
"A well known resident of Baltimore county
bought two horses at a sale of the used up stock
of one of the city railways, short time ago, and
has been driving one Of them in his jaeger. He
noticed that when he stopped the horse he had
some difficulty in getting him started again, when
| he bethoupht himself of the former occupation of
